London’s ‘Modest’ Fashion Show Celebrates Sharia-Compliant Clothing Weeks After Women Burn Hijabs in Iran
 [Breitbart] London Modest Fashion Week will "celebrate" Britannia’s growing sharia-compliant fashion industry ‐ less than two weeks after women living under Islamic fundamentalist regimes risked imprisonment when they burnt their hijabs on No Hijab Day.Described as an "exciting addition to the London fashion calendar" and "a celebration of style and global cultures", London Modest Fashion Week will showcase "modest style" lines on the catwalk this weekend. The show will also put on a sharia legal clinic and zakat (religious tax) hub at the Victoria House, Bloomsbury Square, venue. Organised by the Islamic clothing curator Haute Elan, the fashion website’s founder Romanna Bint-Abubaker said in 2017: "The fastest growing global consumer is at the moment the Moslem market. "One in three people by 2030 will be a Moslem in the world ‐ that’s a huge population." Last year’s inaugural show was sponsored by the makeup brand Illamasqua which promised would "never knowingly sell" their products to supporters of U.S. President Donald J. Trump. This year, it is sponsored by the major American haircare brand TRESammé. Breitbart London revealed that the British government was promoting the "liberation" of the Islamic veil by encouraging Foreign and Commonwealth Office staff to wear the garment, issuing free hijabs on World Hijab Day (February 1st). Last week, the government came under fire over hijabs in British culture again, after the former head of the schools’ watchdog Ofsted criticised the Department of Education for being too politically correct to support headteachers attempting to ban Islamic hijabs for underaged girls.
